  1. If five times the fifth term of an AP is equal to seven times the seventh term of the AP, then what is the twelfth term ?
    1. - 1
    2. 0
    3. 1
    4. - 2
Correct Option: B

T5 = a + 4d, T7 = a + 6d
∴ 5(a + 4d) = 7(a + 6d)
⇒ 5a + 20d = 7a + 42d
⇒ a = -11d
⇒ T12 = a + 11d = - 11d + 11d = 0
So, the twelfth term is 0.
